We're nearing the end of the year but that doesn't mean an end to the fascinating insights in the world of ATM, UTM and airports. A few things stood out to us this week:

 

Following on from last week's focus on 're-inventing the air travel experience', Air Traffic Management have posted an interesting piece on how COVID-19 will drastically change travel habits forever. Only a third (34%) of passengers surveyed have taken a commercial flight since the pandemic began, and this appears to have sparked a shift in attitudes to flying.

 

But there's hope on the horizon. Despite this change, there are early signs that travellers are beginning to feel confident about flying again; almost half (47%) of passengers surveyed expect to feel ready to fly within the next six months. 

 

There's also a great piece on human factor analysis, or the so-called User Experience (UX) research, which plays an essential role in the design of everyday objects, as well as in safety-critical fields like air traffic control. HungaroControl sat down for a chat with Boglárka Nagy, Human Factors Analyst and Fanni Kling, Data Scientist to discuss a human-centered approach towards R+D projects for Air Traffic Control

 

If that interview caught your attention, then take a look at the interviews on our blog and our dedicated interview page on the FoxATM website, - full of informative chats with experts in the industry. Check them out and let us know who you'd like to hear from next!
